DOMINIKA RENSCH
Character Designer, Visual Development Artist
I’ve spent the past 8+ years as an Illustrator and Character Designer, contributing to everything from Feature Films and TV series to children's books. I’m all about simplicity, textures, and a touch of whimsy, which mainly shaped my style!
By day, I’m crafting designs, and by night I run mohiiri, my small business where I create quirky stationery featuring round, silly animals. Birds are my absolute favorite!
